Winger were a very talented late 80's and early 90's Glam Metal band from New York, named after lead singer Kip Winger. They made it big with their 1988 self-titled album, and "In the Heart of the Young" in 1990.

However 3 negative things happened that made them lose popularity in the 90's.
1. Grunge taking over the music industry.
2. Conflicts with the band Metallica and their immature attitudes towards Winger.

3. Criticism on the show "Beavis and Butthead". The geeky kid Stewart can be seen wearing Winger shirts, and thus the band was dubbed as uncool.

Rob: I used to like Metallica, but then I discoved Winger and they have some really unique stuff.

Dan: Yeah I have a couple of that bands albums. Screw Metallica. Winger is 100 times better.

pronounced win-ger. like ginger with no g. used to describe a "wannabe ginger." the winger can either have 1) dyed hair a light to deep ginger color, or 2) be known to fellow peers as having no soul. suspected wingers and their level of wingerness are subject to changed based on circumstance. beware of wingers. they're climbin' in yo windows, snatchin' yo people up, tryin' to rape em.

Lenina: "Gosh, that dude is SUCH a winger. Just look at that baby he just killed. How soulless."

Fanny: "I totally hooked up with a winger last night. It was all the fun of a ginger, without actually being a ginger."
